[ CSDb - C64 Scene News ]
Richard is nolonger
Richard is nolonger
Richard has officially left the scene 1st January 2007 to concentrate with life in general and also to work on his own projects. Richard will still be available to help anyone with music or advice.
It has been a pleasure to create stuff for the scene since I began in 1995, but I feel that it is time for me to move on and get on with life in general. I really enjoyed creating stuff for the C64, and will continue to do so (Mainly games), until I can't do it no more
) even if it is another 10 years or so The C64 is my pride and joy and I am very happy with what I have done, and also wish to thank you all for your kind support. It is muchly appreciated.
If anyone wishes to upload any future stuff of mine on to the CSDB then please feel free, even if it has been intro-linked by another group or something like that, there will be no fuss.
Keep the C64 spirit alive and kicking

Tracker Songs Archive v4.1 (Spectrum)
[ raww.org ]
Tracker Songs Archive v4.1 released
Actually released on Christmas Eve, the latest version of Sergey Bulba's Tracker Songs Archive is available for download. This is v4.1, and weighs in at a whopping 12.7Mb. Should be a simple download in this broadband age. It contains over 17,000 modules, that's after the removal of some duplicates. If I get a chance I'll provide a list of the actual changes, tho' don't count on it... doing that takes some time.
Also updated is the AY Composers List, found on the same site. v4.1 contains details of over 1000 ZX tracker musicians. The list isn't quite in English (that's to say... it's not), but it's simple enough to understand. And it's a good companion to the Tr_Songs download that you're surely already grabbing.

Raww.org Seasonal Downtime
[ raww.org ]
Seasonal Downtime
You will probably have already noticed that there has been a bit of "downtime" regarding updates over the Christmas period. Apologies for that, I've just been busy with "other things". Among these "other things" I include tasks such as organising the upcoming raww.orgy, which is taking place in... 38 days time! Eek! I have some calls and things to make, but I hope to have prizes sorted out before the party this year - meaning you have even more reason to take part in the competitions, whether you're visiting or not.
I've also been stupidly busy at work lately. Today is my first day back after some time off (during which I generally visited families and tried to be "sociable"), and I have a lot of work to do in the next few weeks. It's a hard life, eh?
Anyway, I'll try to catch up on some news in the next few days, and try to keep the updates regular. In fact, I've just noticed something rather exciting (if you like AY music) so I'll go post about that now...

Sorry, Hugi is not once again spamming around!
Magic wanted to wish us all a happy new year and tried to post news that are no. They are working on Hugi#33. But this is not really fresh or interesting, not really new. Every editor team is more or less working on something e.g. collecting support from outside.
"Thanks for your attention!" And thank you in advance for your accepting that we at Bitfellas only post news that are news.
Ghandy is breathing and therefore he collects articles for Jurassic Pack.
One week later I could post: I am still breathing and you are still more than welcome to send me your support. No, no - NO!
We do NOT want spam here, related to the scene or not. You bring out a new issue, post that news. You do something which is interesting for real - POST. But not that Hugi-alike junkmail as seen at Pouet and other places.
Magic, Adok and others: Don't take it as an affront. And don't tell me this is censorship. We already know it is.
Ey, I am still breathing, you could send in your support (...)
Happy new year and all the best for you and your family from the
Bitfellas team! Seriously!!

so much christmas so much code
hehe I posted this the first time as a comment and not as a blog entry.. ops
The work is coming along great, I've put alot of time into the design of the VM instruction set and its innerworkings, I think likely 70% thinking and writing in a huge journal and 30% actually coding it (probably even less than that). I'm actually becoming quite proud of the accomplishment 
Remember AltiVec? well lets just say my VM was abit inspired of thinking in a non scalar way
